19	74:161	2001-09-28		near Hawley	Clay	(record #200206, vote 6–1). Because of the difficulty in separating White-faced from Glossy Ibis in late summer and fall, most ibis records then Ornithologists' Union Records Committee Kim R. Eckert, MOURC Chairman will eventually be accepted and filed as unidentified Plegadis ibis.	Accepted

21	75:41	2002-08-24		near Dovray	Murray	(record #2002-82, vote 7–0). As a juvenile bird, this ibis was not possible to identify in the field.	Accepted
	75:160	2002-09-04			Kandiyohi	(record #2003-02, vote 3–4). This was another narrow decision involving an identification that was probably correct, but again with a brief description coming only from memory after a delay of some months. In this case, the birds were seen only after sunset as distant flying silhouettes, with no plumage features or overall color visible, the birds' sizes as described were unclear, and the observer had difficulty determining if the bills were decurved.	Not Accepted
22	75:160	2002-09-07		Island Lake	Lyon	(record #2003-17, vote 6–1).	Accepted
23	75:41	2002-10-10	2002-10-12	Hamden Slough National Wildlife Refuge	Becker	(record #2002-73, vote 7–0). This ibis was initially reported as a Ornithologists' Union Records Committee Kim R. Eckert, MOURC Chairman Plegadis ibis, 12 October 2002, Hamden Slough N.W.R., Becker County. Photo by Peder Svingen. Glossy, but further observations determined that it was an unidentified juvenile ibis.	Accepted

24	75:160	2003-04-17		Winkler Wildlife Management Area	Jackson	(record #2003-18, vote 5–2).	Accepted
25	75:160	2003-05-03		Bloomington	Hennepin	(record #2003-20, vote 7–0). These three records involved birds which were either seen in fall, when most Plegadis ibis are difficult or impossible to identify in the field, or birds which were seen only in flight at a distance.	Accepted
26	76:39	2003-06-26		near Magnolia	Rock	(record #2003-48, vote 7–0). The observer only saw this bird in flight and was unable to determine its eye and facial skin colors or if any white feathering was present on the face.	Accepted

29	78:126	2004-08-17		Walter Township	Lac qui Parle	(record #2006-004, vote 6–1). Though submitted more than 17 months late and unaccompanied by field notes, documentation for this immature ibis included two photographs.	Accepted

Although both birds were unanimously Accepted as Plegadis ibis the written description eliminated neither Glossy Ibis nor hybrid White-faced X Glossy Ibis (see North American Birds 57:136–139).	Accepted
	77:169	2005-05-01		Hills	Rock	(record #2005-013, vote 2–5 for three individuals). Three ibises reported with an Accepted record of one White-faced Ibis were not described in any way.	Not Accepted
36	77:169	2005-05-28		Plover Prairie	Lac qui Parle	(record #2005-033, vote 7–0). Seven dark ibises of indeterminate age were seen only in flight and prudently, were left unidentified.	Accepted

40	78:40	2005-10-09	2005-10-15	Munnwyler Lake near Ortonville	Big Stone	(record #2005-069, vote 7–0). Though photographed about two weeks later than the juvenile in the preceding record, it was still not possible to distinguish reddish tones in the irides from an artifact of reflected light.	Accepted
	78:40	2005-11-17	2005-11-24	Spring Lake	Dakota	(record #2005-079, vote 1–6). The description of this exceptionally late ibis was submitted by an individual who did not actually see the bird.	Not Accepted
